Senator McGRATH (Queensland—Assistant Minister to the Prime Minister) (15:37): I seek leave to make a short statement.

The PRESIDENT: Leave is granted for one minute.

Senator McGRATH: The government opposes this motion because a referral will result in an unnecessary use of time and money for the committee and secretariat. The government has initiated a review of all projects over $10 million, and all critical business systems, with the results to be released shortly. The government publicly releases detailed IT investment information regularly on the AusTender website, which Labor acknowledged in their media release of 14 August.
